The formula contains an assigning of the variable COMHACR and now this
variable contains a call to COMHCY7, which neither is a valid previously assigned
variable COMHCY7 , nor is it possibly a call on a valid function COMHCY7.
Adjusted for this, then the below will plot :
COMHACR:= (
FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCRR") +
FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCYY") +
FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCY4") +
FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCR4") +
FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCR7") +
FmlVar("COMH-BASICS","COMHCY7")
)
/ 3;
COMHACR
Limitations are explained in the manual+help
-20 digits max for name positions/variable(p229)
-20 functions max for assigned variables/indicator(p229)
-1000 indicators max for custom indicators/PC(p284)
